Episodes without Jesse & James?

[Boreal]

Does anyone know of a list or can anyone help me to compile a list? I've been looking for episodes to watch to help me get in the mood to finish my fanfiction, but I can't stand the shtick. I know most Pokemon League episodes leave them out and I don't think they appeared in the very first, but I can't think of others.

Pokemon League episodes actually do show them, at least up to the Shin'ou League. They don't cause much conflict though, usually they're doing honest, or not-so-honest, work.

I suppose that's fine. I just want episodes where they don't chop 5-10 minutes off the main plot or rescue the writers from finishing scenes.

The very first Gym Battle episode in the anime doesn't showcase them at all until the last five seconds, and they weren't much of an intrusion in the third Gym Battle episode. There's also the Natsume/Sabrina arc (they're there but not much of an intrusion) and the first episode of the Diamond and Pearl anime. Really all that I can name off the top of my head right now - Rocket Gang is in a lot of episodes.

They're definitely not there at all in a good chunk of the Best Wishes episodes.

[Charmander4]

They do sort of appear in BW116. They appear in the flashback, when Charmander is burning them while they're capturing Pikachu.

I really hope they appear in every episode next series. No more 14 week breaks ever again please.
